Here is another robot toy that teaches your kids basics of coding. The intelino J-1 Smart Train is app connected but also has a screen-free mode. It comes with 20 tracks, a smart engine, a wagon, and everything you need to put it together. This kit is designed to help kids develop STEM skills through play. It works with iOS and Android devices.
Here is a robot that can pour you a drink, collect the cap, and deposit the bottle into a recycle bin. The Desktop Bartender Robot is developed by Seearress Designs. It comes 100% assembled. You simply need to use herbal bitter mini drink bottles to get this machine working. The above GIF shows how this robot works.
Remember the Moley Robotic Kitchen? It is a smart fully integrated unit with anthropomorphic hands that can cook you 5000 recipes. It comes with utensils and cookware optimized for humans and robots. As the below video shows, it has a GUI that enables you to search and choose recipes easily. The above video shows this robotic kitchen in action:
Here is another educational robot designed to get you familiar with AI development. The Waveshare JetBot AI Robot comes with a LiDAR, camera, speaker, and microphone. It is made for the 2GB Jetson Nano Developer kit.
Remember the Husky UGV? It is a versatile machine that can adapt to a wide variety of outdoor tasks. The AgRob V16b is based on this platform. A team from the Laboratory of Robotics and IoT for Smart Precision Agriculture and Forestry at INESC TEC – Technology and Science are creating a ROS stack solution with advanced agricultural path planning and localization packages to enable the robot to adapt to steep slopes.
Here is another robotic arm that teaches you coding. The Yahboom AI Robot Arm is powered by a Jetson Nano. It is ready for Python programming. Based on the Chip Board platform, the DOFBOT also comes with a 6 HQ servos, a HD camera and a multi-function expansion board.
Here is another robot that gets your kids familiar with technology concepts. The GeeekClub 7-in-1 Robotic Kit comes with circuit boards, diodes, wires, light sensors, and everything you need to build 7 robots. It comes with over 250 electronic components and 70 parts.
ROBOTIS is behind some of the coolest educational robots around. The ENGINEER Kit 2 Robot Kit comes with everything you need for serious programming. It has a Pi Zero board and Raspberry Pi camera. This kit is ready to be customized with 3D printed parts.
There is no better way to learn robots and electronics than trying fun Raspberry Pi projects that others have shared online. The PlottyBot is a Raspberry Pi powered robot that can produce handwritten notes. As the developer demonstrates on Reddit, this robot can even produce cursive writing. The developer needed to develop a flexible font format to make it work.
